Specifically, Jammu & Kashmir, the India-Pakistan border, and Manipur, alongside parts of central and eastern India are classified as Level 4 zones on the travel notice. Overall, though, India is at Level 2.

Due to civil unrest and terrorism concerns, travel advisories recommend avoiding trips to Jammu & Kashmir, except for the eastern Ladakh region and Leh. Additionally, travelers should exercise caution when approaching within 10 kilometers of the India-Pakistan border due to the potential risk of armed conflict.

It’s also wise to avoid certain areas in central and eastern India because of Naxalism and other issues. For Manipur specifically, there are concerns about violence & crime.

Americans are encouraged to think again about traveling to northeastern states because of terrorism worries and violence lurking around. The advisory points out that incidents of rape are on the rise in India; scary stuff. Violent crimes like sexual assault have even happened at tourist spots and various locations.

The U.S. Department of State reminds everyone that terrorists might strike at any moment—aiming for tourist attractions, transportation hubs, markets, shopping centers, & government buildings.

The U.S. government can’t always offer emergency help in rural areas from eastern Maharashtra stretching up north through Telangana to western West Bengal.
